Community reviews for eSpark

It is a comprehensive way t0 teach concepts to the students multiple levels. This is very important because my special education students learn in different ways. It is a great way for them to practice what they learning and gain confidence without feeling self conscious about making mistakes in front of the other students.

I love how this program allows differentiation with your class I was able to group the students based on their needs! This is very important because students learn in different ways. I also like the reports I get from eSpark as to who is struggling, and what my students are struggling with. I also love they recognize what students are doing well with as well!

I absolutely love this resource. The automatic grouping that is done for me takes an extra step away from me. My students love to receive the kudos as well.

It's easy to login. The students can login with Google and don't need extra passwords and usernames. I bookmark it for my students on their tablet so they can find it easily. I like it because it is adaptive. There is a placement test for both math and reading so students start where they are an progress from there. The students are really engaged because it's so fun!

I LOVE eSPARK! My students ASK me to go to eSpark and are disappointed when we don't have time! They like that the skills are ones they are successful with (behind the scenes, I have set them up that way because eSpark has recommended the level they need!!!). The only thing I am not fond of is the movement to outside websites. BUT - I got a survey today about possible future improvements. It looks like this may be something they are working to fix in the near future! HOORAY! I didn't like that I only got to choose 1 of the choices though! They had LOTS of great ideas in the pipeline!!! I can't wait to see what is next! PLEASE keep it free!!!!!

It has been a few years since I have used eSpark with my class. I did not step away for any particular reason other than Covid (need I say more?). I absolutely love all of the updates since we last used it. Small groups and differentiation are clutch! I was planning to only use it with my on target and struggle bugs. However, when I saw that I could now select particular lessons to assign and schedule them in advance, even for my high flyers, I was elated! Do yourself a favor, start using eSpark IMMEDIATELY!

I love espark because it is automatic differentiation. I have one student who is more advanced than the others and this moves at her pace. Most students are working on syllabication right now, but she is working on fairy tales. The below level students are working on rhyming or letters.

I love Espark. My class has had the opportunity to help develop game ideas, and they love the quests. It works with students on their level of readiness. I can change their level if I need to. Occasionally, there may be a glitch in a game, but I can move the student forward so that they can continue in their quest. I then contact Espark and they are always eager to help resolve the issue!

Overall, this may be my favorite product I’ve used. It’s easy to use and really engaging. The only downside that I’ve noticed is that it doesn’t give you immediate feedback on student work (it takes 24 hours). Otherwise I love that students take quizzes on the topic they are learning about and that informs their level.

I have a Special Ed. Class of language delayed and autistic students. They are at all levels in reading and this program is able to fit all their needs. I am very happy with what it is doing for my students. They enjoy the videos as well and they are excited to use the program daily. I am thankful for the feedback I receive on how each student is doing. Thank you for a great program!
